LAMBS is an AI Enhancement mod in our core modset which helps GMs quickly command large groups of Enemy AI. Note that it should be used instead of standard Vanilla ARMA movement orders for infantry if possible. The following section details how to use the specific Modules present in the mod and their use cases.
Task / Module Description / Use Case
Task CAMP Sets the affected group into a relaxed state, ideal for simulating an unaware enemy. AI will use ambient animations such as sitting or idling. Good for defensive positions with low alert.
Task GARRISON Quickly spreads AI into occupied buildings to simulate a garrison. You can set conditions for them to leave; “none” is the most restrictive, making them hold position until death. Useful for creating static defenses.
Task PATROL Sets up AI patrols on a static or dynamic path. Ideal for creating roaming security forces or routine patrols.
Task RUSH Sends AI running directly to the nearest player/BLUFOR unit in an uncoordinated fashion. Best for insurgent QRFs or last-resort charges.
Task ASSAULT / RETREAT Used with Dynamic Targets. AI will move to secure the target location tactically, using cover and formations. Can simulate retreating (checkbox option), but retreat mode can sometimes cause AI to get stuck.
Task CREEP Used for ambushes. AI sneaks as close to BLUFOR as possible before opening fire at the most lethal moment or when spotted.
Task CQB Orders AI to clear buildings. Can be unreliable, so use with caution — better for flavour than guaranteed results.
Task HUNT Simulates an OPFOR patrol that gradually works its way toward the players. AI knows player positions but acts as if they are searching, slowly tightening the net.
v1.03
LAMBS is an AI Enhancement mod in our core modset which helps GMs quickly command large groups of Enemy AI. Note that it should be used instead of standard Vanilla ARMA movement orders for infantry if possible. The following section details how to use the specific Modules present in the mod and their use cases.
Name Behaviour Useful For
Task CAMP Puts AI group into a relaxed, unaware state with ambient animations (sitting, standing idly). Simulating enemies off-guard, early-mission stealth approaches.
Task GARRISON Spreads AI into nearby buildings and holds them there. “None” condition keeps them in place until death. Defensive strongpoints, urban garrisons, fortified compounds.
Task PATROL Creates a static or dynamic route for AI to walk. Perimeter patrols, roaming security, making areas feel alive.
Task RUSH Sends AI running uncoordinated toward nearest player/BLUFOR. Insurgent QRFs, desperate charges, chaotic assaults.
Task ASSAULT / RETREAT Moves AI tactically to a Dynamic Target using cover and formations; retreat option can make them withdraw (sometimes buggy). Coordinated attacks on objectives, staged withdrawals, advancing lines.
Task CREEP AI sneaks close to players before opening fire when most lethal or when spotted. Ambushes, surprise attacks, suspenseful encounters.
Task CQB Orders AI to clear buildings, though results can be inconsistent. Indoor combat scenarios, building-to-building firefights (use cautiously).
Task HUNT AI gradually converges on player positions, acting as though searching. Pressure missions, “being hunted” scenarios, slow-burn tension.
